Lots of exciting things are happening over on Mapping Memories:
Our first post from our Canada series went live yesterday! 🇨🇦
We’re constantly researching and preparing for our biggest adventure ever: our World Trip in 2026 🤯
And today marks the official first day of Mapping Memories Subscriptions 🎉
Yup, they’re finally here.
What are Mapping Memories Subscriptions again?
Here’s a quick recap!
What are subscriptions?
They’re the single best way to support our weekly newsletter.
We love sharing amazing activities like petting micro pigs in Tokyo or helping you find balance and inspiration through the art of itinerary creation.
And we want to continue to share our travel stories and advice with you.
Subscriptions help us achieve this goal!
Why would you support us?
If you've enjoyed our content and found value in our stories and travel insights, this is your chance to help ensure we can keep doing what we love.
Every penny of support is massively appreciated and will directly be put towards value-packed stories and tips from our upcoming world trip in 2026. A bigger budget means a longer world trip, which also means more editions of Mapping Memories for you to enjoy 🙌🏼
Until then, we’ll continue to explore as much as possible and share our insights with you on a weekly basis.
We will obviously keep doing what we do! 🌎
❗️ Mapping Memories will always stay a free source of travel stories and tips. We will never paywall any of our posts and will continue to provide you with your weekly dose of travel-filled escapism.
We want to inspire YOUR own adventures and are simply offering a unique way to support our publication for those who want to and are able to! ❤️
How it works:
Paid subscriptions are officially live now! 🎉
Follow these steps below to join the incredible group of Mapping Memories Enthusiasts.
Press the button: Update your subscription and choose your preferred method of support. And yes, we appreciate whichever one you decide to go for:
Payment: Enter your payment details - which can be both credit or debit - and the system will do the rest. If you’ve already opted for a paid substack subscription before, your details should be pre-filled already.
Receive our gratitude: Because really, thank you ❤️. We are eternally grateful for your continued support and we’re very excited for this next chapter of Mapping Memories.
If you encounter any issues, let us know! We’re happy to help figure them out.
And again, let’s be clear, Mapping Memories will stay free for everyone. These subscriptions are for those who want to and can contribute more. Think of it as a tip jar, but instead of spare change, you're fuelling a tank that will take us - and you - around the world!
Thank you, again.
We are forever grateful in whichever way you continue to support us.
Whether it’s by reading our stories every week, chatting with us about your own adventures, or opting for a Mapping Memories Subscription.
We’re two ordinary Dutchies in awe of this earth's extraordinary beauty and we simply want to share as much as possible with you!
Thanks for making that all possible ❤️
Big hug,
Mike & Hannah
